Florida Burn Injury Attorneys

Burns Due to Fires, Explosions, Chemicals, Defective Products


The burn accident attorneys at Baker, Zimmerman & Perez are strong advocates for people who have sustained serious, life-threatening burn injuries and also represent the loved ones of individuals whose burn injuries have resulted in death. We are highly knowledgeable and experienced about personal injury law and product liability law as it applies to injuries caused by fires, explosions and chemical exposures.

In the United States, approximately 2.4 million burn injuries are reported per year. Approximately 650,000 of the injuries are treated by medical professionals; 75,000 are hospitalized. Of those hospitalized, 20,000 have major burns involving at least 25% of their total body surface. Between 8,000 and 12,000 of patients with burns die, and approximately one million will sustain substantial or permanent disabilities resulting from their burn injury. (Journal of Burn Care & Rehabilitation, May/June 1992)

We handle the following types of burn injury cases:
Electrocution Burns Thermal Burns  Smoke/Heat Inhalation Fume Ignition
Flammable Clothing Flammable Liquids Scold/Burns - Hot Liquid Work Related Accidents
Building Fires Chemical Burns Gas Explosions Gasoline Spills
Motor Vehicle Fires Water Heater Fires Defective Products Electrical Wires
Faulty Equipment Defective Products    

These injuries often result in life altering burns, scars, physical and emotional damage. Burns sustained may be so severe they require multiple surgeries (plastic surgery and reconstruction), extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation, months off of work, on-going counseling, and years of recuperation. While treatment varies depending on degree of burn (first-degree, second-degree, third-degree, etc.) they are among the most expensive types of injuries to treat. The average length of stay for a hospital burn patient is 24 days, longer for severe patients, and initial hospital costs can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Our burn injury attorneys will help you get compensation for your pain and suffering; compensation for medical bills; help you find medical treatment; help you recover lost, present and future job income; and help you deal with the insurance company.
